 needs improvement August 10, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I only bought this game the other day. It's def a great game idea with the whole wii effect but the game is really not made well enough. Let me explain why, when you go to putt it just goes to pull back without you even moving I think it's cause the whole sensor thing. to sum this up the game is def cool and a great buy but I would like to see how they can improve this game.
 Frustrating beyond comprehension August 5, 2007

I've had this game for about a week now. At first I was really thinking I kept hooking my shots to the right because I wasn't swinging accurately. So i was really excited about being able to improve with time and practice. But after many hours of concentrating, and watching the remote swing perfectly, still, 9 times out of 10 it hooks to the right. At this point it's much more common for me to be hitting from the rough on my second shot than it is from the fairway. So that's my first BIG complaint - I can't hit a straight shot for a life of me, and when I finally do it seems completely random and without reason. This last game I started only holding the remote with one hand, and as I bring it down to swing, I twist it in towards my body like I'm bowling, and then it hits straight. There's something very wrong with the controls here.
My second HUUUUGE complaint is that about 25% of the time when I'm putting, the game will think I'm swinging forward when I'm still bringing my club backward!! AHH!!!! I've lost the same event two times in a row against a computer controlled character because of this. I just got so frustrated about 5 minutes ago I almost threw my controller at the TV.
The other thing that really bugs me about this game are the graphics. I understand it's the Wii and not the 360 or PS3. But they put gratuitous things in the game like animals running around in the background, and they took seemingly NO care with them to make them look anything beyond terrible. Why put a deer in the background if it's going to make the game look bad? Add it if it'll enhance the atmosphere, but if you can't make it look good, take the stupid things out. The golf characters all look pretty good, and the grass and trees all look pretty good. I bought the Wii for gameplay though, not graphics. For that I have a nice PC.
I LOVED Wii Sports Golf. But it was really short and way too easy. So I was excited about the prospect of a content-rich golf game using the Wii remote. But this game makes me want to throw it out my window and put in Wii sports... at least that's fun!
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME - IT'S BUGGED!! August 5, 2007

This game at first looks seems amazing, but as you play it, you bump into the swing bug. If you want to play the game where you actually use the controller as a golf club, you "lose" swings. Occasionally, (about 4 times in a 9 hole round for me), the game misses your swing. You take your backswing as normal, but when you bring it around for the hit, the game jumps the gun and hits it too early. This results in a weak, off target shot.
I can't think of anything more frustrating than to play a good hole right up to the short shot and then have the game mess up in this way, causing you to lose the hole and possibly the match.
In short, this game is bugged. Don't buy it!
PASS ON THIS ONE July 30, 2007

Unless $50 is pocket change to you and you are a video golf nut, pass on Tiger Woods '07. I bought this game after playing the Wii Golf (in the Wii Sports package) and really enjoying it. Of course, Tiger Woods is great in the way that you can outfit your character, play real courses, play different modes, etc. But the main reason for the Wii to exist-- swinging the Wii remote "like a golf club" needs IMMENSE improvement.
I have had the game for almost a week and have played quite a bit. It is still EXTREMELY difficult to hit a good, solid, straight shot. It can be done, but I find myself having to swing my arm so hard in such a herky-jerky manner that my arm is literally in pain. I don't know about you, but I don't really want to have my right arm sore because of a stupid video game. I should say that I am a reasonably athletic 30 year of man and a decent golfer. I'm not some total pansy, but swinging the Wii remote for Tiger Woods is MUCH more difficult than swinging a real golf club.
Second and worse are the horrible glitches in the game. It takes quite a while to get the hang of the swing (you have to be COMPLETELY still before you start your backswing or else the remote will read it as a swing and hit is about 50%). This obviously screws you if you are playing in a PGA event. Even with lots of practice, I still get the glitch quite often on my putting. So if I play a round of 18 for a PGA event, I lose probably 5-6 shots because of glitches in the program-- not cool.
I think that golf for Wii has a ton of potential and I am very hopeful that EA will sort out the problems with this game-- make it glitch free and less physically demanding. Again, unless $50 is nothing to you, pass this one up and hope for either A) improvements to the '08 game or B) Nintendo to produce a game similar to the Wii Golf but with more courses, types of games, etc. Either that or just stick with the Wii Golf! I probably should have spent my money on the "Super Swing Golf" which looks silly, but at least I wouldn't have myself headed to a Tommy John surgery with the stupid Tiger Woods '07.
Controls well and is fun but EA rushed this one July 16, 2007

I am not a golf fan, I might drive few balls once in awhile but the game has little appeal for me. That being said I had a great time getting the Wiimote to act as a golf club. The controls take a little getting used to and I wouldn't recommend anything past the normal setting as it gets very touchy on the next setting. That being said creating your own golfer is fun and taking on the pros is also a blast I beat everyone but Tiger. The real caveat here is that this game is BUGGY with a capital B
I have had double bogeys register as eagles and a hole in one register as a triple bogey. Graphically speaking it is okay but the game just needed some more polish and feels rushed when the bugs kick in. I say wait for the '08 version (coming later this year) as they should have fine tuned it by then.
